It's Moderate Growth, With Some

A Bank Is A Relationship. I Can't Desert You And Expect To Have A Strong Relationship Afterward. If I Told Someone, "i Know You've Been Buying Milk From Me And You Need Milk To Survive. But The Price Is No Longer $2 A Gallon. It's Going To Be $40 A Gallon. I'm Going To Bankrupt You." What Do You Guys Think Of Me? You Would Hate Us.

Remember That Banks Aren't Markets. The Market Is Amoral. The Market Doesn't Care Who You Are. You're A Trade To The Market. The Market Will Sell You If They Think You're Riskier. Banks Didn't Do That

We Continued To Build The Business, Even In The Worst Of Times. We Do Business All Over America.

As A Matter Of Fact 25% Of Our U.s. Investment Banking Business Comes Out Of Our Commercial Bank. So It's A Competitive Advantage For Both The Investment Bank - Which Gets A Huge Volume Of Business - And The Commercial Bank Because The Commercial Bank Can Walk Into A Company And Say, "oh, If You Need X, Y And Z In Japan Or China, We Can Do That For You."

They Have A Policy In China For Their Big Companies Called "go Abroad." It's A Rational Thing For Both The Company And The Country To Say, "we Want Big, Successful Companies." Particularly In Areas Where They Need It: Agriculture, Energy, Technology. I Think Banking, Too. One Or Two Have Bought A Trading House. Some Have Already Begun Expanding Around The World. Of Course They're Going To Have Those Ambitions. Why Wouldn't They? They're Just Doing It Methodically. It's A Logical Strategy And, Well-executed, They Will Succeed.
